JAEGER-LECOULTRE

POLARIS MEMOVOX

50 years on, the Memovox Polaris model from 1968 has inspired the Grande Maison for its new Polaris collection ‒ a tribute to the iconic model that has been the source of a long line of JaegerLeCoultre mechanical watches equipped with an alarm. The distinctive dial architecture combines a mixture of finishings on three concentric circles: a sunray finish in the Memovox Polarisinspired centre, with graining on the outer circle for the hours and minutes, and an opaline finish on the rotating inner bezel. The classic Arabic numbers and the contemporary trapezoidal indexes are filled with Super-LumiNova in vintage vanilla, as an homage to the look of Tritium featured on the original Memovox Polaris. Emblematic of the 1968 model, the large crowns have been redesigned for better grip with the signature alarm functions, all in a renewed case holding together an eyecatching combination of brushed and hand-polished surfaces, with sharp, plunging lugs and thin, rounded bezels.
